L’ANNO NUOVO

L’anno nuovo verrà
e qui sul terrazzino
noi vedremo gli uccelli migrar.
Giocheranno così,
i bimbi a nascondino,
li vedremo nei campi scherzar.

Tu vedrai, tu vedrai
che felice sarai
quando l’anno che viene, verrà

Uva rossa, per noi
al sole maturata
e ghiacciata, servita sarà.
Nubi in cielo, per via
la brezza addormentata
vecchi fogli, su e giù spazzerà.

Tu vedrai, tu vedrai...

L'anno nuovo verrà,
cacciando tutti i mali,
verso il cielo le palme alzerem.
Un airone lassù
distenderà le ali
e la luce del sole vedrem.

Tu vedrai, tu vedrai...

EL AÑO QUE VIENE

El año que viene nos sentaremos en la terraza
Y contaremos los pájaros que emigran
Los niños de vacaciones jugarán a la roña
Entre la casa y los campos

Ya verás, ya verás lo bueno que será

El año que viene
Las uvas rojas madurarán hasta la tarde
Y las serviremos frías sobre la mesa
Y los vientos soplarán y llevarán crucero
Los periódicos viejos y una nube

Ya verás....

El año que viene extenderemos las palmas de las manos
Hacia la radiante luz blanca
Una garza blanca
Extenderá sus alas como un la luz
Y entre ellas se elevará el sol

Ya verás....

In the year that will be

In the year that will be ... we’ll sit out on our porches
Counting migrating birds as they fly
And the children will run between the houses and the fields
Playing catch under cloudless blue skies

Chorus
Come with me, you will see
Just how sweet life will be
in the year, in the year that will be
Come with me, you will see
Just how sweet life will be
in the year, in the year that I see

Dark red grapes on the vine will ripen til the evening,
Then bring the chill of the night to our plates
And the soft wind will blow a cloud of old newspaper
Bearing news that is long out of date

Chorus

In the year that will be ... we’ll spread our hands before us
Gathering light that will dazzle our eyes
A white heron will spread her perfect wings above us
And between them the new sun will rise ...

Chorus

Dancing in the wind - Composed in 2005

Next Year

Verse 1:
Soon the day will arrive when we will be together, and no longer will we (man) live in fear.
And the children will smile, without wond'ring whether
On that day dark new clouds will appear.

Verse 2:
Some (Men) have dreamed, some (men) have died, to make a bright tomorrow
And their visions remain in our heart.
Now the torch must be passed with hope and not in sorrow
And a promise to make a new start.

Chorus:
Wait and see, wait and see, what a world there can be
If we share, if we care, you and me...

Next Year

Seasons come, seasons go,
But people never seem to know
How long it will rain, it will shine
Let them ask what will be
It doesn't mean a thing to me
I'll know what to do when you're mine

Any time of the year, I can look in your eyes
and the rain in the sky doesn't fall
Any time of the year, I can look in your eyes
there is sunshine in no time at all
